As females, we often find ourselves overwhelmed, lost, emotionally and mentally distressed, anxious and completely "out of sorts" with no time for resolution. We attempt to juggle multiple roles, life and its difficulties, and our commitment to others, that we fall by the wayside. When do we say ENOUGH and get back to ourselves! Sometimes, it is difficult to know where to start. If this seems to be a concern, then a therapist is a great way to assist you in unveiling and restoring you to your Best SELF!

Humans are like trees. When a tree’s fruit isn’t enough, you can trim the branches and hope it grows back better—but the real issue is the roots. We do the same in our lives; we rely on temporary fixes to manage unhealthy habits, hoping things will improve. But the truth is, until we address the roots of these habits, we’ll keep facing regret, hopelessness, and doubts that things can actually get better.
